DC One Million

One of Grant Morrison’s masterstrokes, and one of the most fun crossovers DC’s ever done. Grant had a hand in pretty much every issue that tied into the main story, even if he wasn’t the main writer. The trade paperback that DC released a while ago is seriously the worst, and only barely gets the gist of the story across. This is DC One Million, done right.

Whew! That wimpy trade paperback DC put looks pretty lame right now, doesn’t it? The rest of the DC1M issues are completely standalone and could be (if so desired) bound separately in any order (actually, I take that back: the Legion & Legionnaires issues might tie together, but someone else will have to confirm that):

There is also a DC One Million 80-Page Giant that you do a few things with:

-Take the Grant Morrison pages out and add them to the end of the main book, or if you don’t mind a thicker book, use the whole thing.
-If you bind the standalone issues in their own volume, put it at the beginning.

Chris Roberson revisited the 1M timeline in Superman/Batman #79-80, and would be a great addition as well.

I just bound the core story, but there are definitely options for those who want everything.

Most of the 1,000,000 issues had a list of all of the comics coming out that month. As an alternative to this map, I just used the order that was provided there, and just picked out the series I was interested in. The only exception is that I put the Chronos issue at the end.
